There is no shortage of community information and news available in Barrhaven. While researching possible story leads for one of the town’s five small community papers, the Barrhaven Independent, I was soon struck by how many community centered websites were already up and running for this very new area.

This story was the outcome of my curiosity, and Derek Dunn’s generosity, and resulted in another unexpected assignment with the Barrhaven Independent.

When selling advertisement space, magazine salespeople use media kits to inform and advertise their rates and readership to potential advertisers.
This is a prototype for On the Danforth’s media kit I made during the initial planning stages of the magazine’s relaunch in Spring 2008. In the end the print design team made a stunning media kit that sold more than our projected advertising, but I still like this design and think it is a good example of my personal design style.
